CABLE: Extended its corrective pullback, away from its recently posted
post-Brexit high of $1.4377(Apr17), through Monday's trade as rate felt the
pressure from UST yields. Reported cable longs were already seen under pressure
following last week's release of disappointing UK data, added too by comments
from BOE Governor Carney, which prompted traders to pare back bets for a May
hike. Cable traded to a low in NY of $1.3926 with early Asia extending this move
to $1.3918 before UST yields eased which allowed some relief. Cable recovered
but was seen meeting resistance into $1.3950. However, rate is pressing on this
level at writing. A break to open a move toward broken support at $1.3966, with
the NY high of $1.3977 lurking behind. Support remains at the Asian low with
further demand noted into $1.3900/1.3890. UK Public Sector Borrowing data due at
0830GMT, not usually a market mover but as it covers the last month of the tax
year it should provide more interest(2017-18 fiscal deficit). CBI Trends data
due at 1000GMT.
